Dear Ms. Macheske,
The Library of Congress Manuscript Division has custody of the National Woman's Party Records and many photographs from this collection are available in an online presentation Women of Protest. Other photographs from the NWP Papers are described in the finding aid (PDF) and are available in the Manuscript Reading Room. Additional suffrage-related collections in the Manuscript Division that may include photographs of African American women protesting for suffrage includes the National American Woman Suffrage Association Records, which are available online. You may also wish to consult American Women, the online guide to woman's history-related collections at the Library of Congress. Please feel free to reach out to Manuscript Reading Room staff through Ask a Librarian with any questions about these collections.
With best wishes,
Edie
Manuscript Reading Room, Library of Congress
